Ya know something, you’re right, all I’ve been doing is thinking about it and now I’m in a personal hell

I tried Valve’s Customer Service but they informed me that Developer Bans cannot be overwritten by Valve staff

My little sister hates Star Wars simply because back when she was in high school, that’s all the other kids talked about. She told me how tired she was of hearing about people shipping Kylo Ren and Rey, so much so that she plays the Sims and outright REFUSES to get the Star Wars DLC for it because she doesn’t wanna remember how toxic people were to her for not liking Star Wars.

Even though I love Star Wars (May the 4th be with you) I can weirdly relate, because when Andor dropped and my initial thoughts were “Slow, boring, and doesn’t feel like Star Wars.” and the Heist arc only CEMENTED this for me. (God I couldn’t tell you how much I wanted those characters to die, and how little I felt when they finally did, hours of build-up and the only thing I learned about them is that they don’t think Andor’s one of the cool kids, and one of them wrote a book! Now they’re all dead, don’t I feel like my investment was worth it?)… My Reddit inbox (remember before they went on a banning spree?) was flooded with people telling me how stupid I was for “Not getting it!”, and how simple people like me “Should stick to pew pew stuff like Clone Wars”

It made me want to rewatch Rogue One, not because of “Andor Hype”, but because I’d get to see the show’s namesake die. Legitimately I’d fire up Lego Star Wars and just have player 1 be Darth Maul, player 2 be Cassian Andor, and just killed Andor over and over again, that’s how mad I was getting at Andor fanboys and their constant barrages of insults to anyone with ANY criticism of the show. It legitimately got so bad that I just didn’t wanna watch Star Wars anymore.

I liked what little I saw of The Acolyte, but, sadly these Disney shows have been tainted for me by a combination of Boba Fett being THAT BAD and the toxicity of the Andor crowd.

I’m sorry Boba Fett was TERRIBLE, I just don’t understand why they went with a script where Boba Fett acts like he has no idea how Jabba’s operation worked despite being one of his right hand men. Did the writer just never see Return of the Jedi? I realize the only line of dialogue Boba Fett’s ever really said i anything ever is “He’s no good to me dead!”, but come on now. You just can’t give me a fish out of water story when the character in question is a shark in familiar oceans.

I realize that Star Wars has always been of questionable quality and has been divisive every since Empire Strikes Back had half of people going “What a great twist I was absolutely floored and on the edge of my seat since we got to Cloud City!” and the other half going “Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are the same person? Bullshit, what’s next, Luke and Leia are twins!?!”, so much so that the real Star Wars is the friends we made along the way, but…

I’m not making friends along the way anymore, and that’s just depressing.

At this point I’m wondering if they’ll teach it at all, or just act like the Reagan Years and pretend it’s just “peaches and cream” and a time when “Men were men”

This, they had no problem dropping “Muh Freeze Peach” in favor of calling everything they didn’t like “DEI”

including people who voted for Trump.

Who would refuse to accept that it was happening until it happened to them specifically.

They’re even nodding along even though if Obama even hinted at something like this, paramedics would be called in to deal with the exploding heads.

I’m just amazed people think Disney’s bad considered Lucas’ plan for the series was just remaking the prequels in 3D and doing Star Wars Detours

This, I don’t even know what the fuck is up with the magic dagger that tells you where a holocron is on a crashed space station that did not exist when the dagger was forged.

But there’s shit just as dumb in the prequels, such as Palpatine hiring Dooku who then hires Jango who using his assassin money hires an assassin who hires a droid who hires two bugs, ending in a chase where Jango runs into the old villain trap of “Kill the unwilling informant being coercised into talking and not the guy who actually wants to stop you?” that’s been around since Dick Tracey was writing parking tickets.

This, I’m willing to bet that the sequels will be just as beloved as the prequels suddenly were.

They explain it in the movie, he force jumped between bodies.

But yeah the contents of the message they steal in the begining isn’t played anywhere except in Fortnite

“Somehow, Palpatine returned…” is a line that makes sense in context… He doesn’t know how Sidious came back.

Though keeping the contents of the message locked to a temporary Fortnite event was stupid.

I think it’s funny when people compare the sequels to the EU, when they share a lot of ideas.

I actually have to blink at the number of times people swear to me, without sarcasm or irony, that the EU would “NEVER BRING BACK PALPATINE!”

But like, it did though?

Can I like and dislike a comment at the same time?

This is old news, Scott’s already apologized for it, and the guy who uncovered it admitted he didn’t care and just wanted to start drama.

I’m not sure how to word the message

“9 years ago, I accidentally pissed off the creator of this franchise, so he banned me, but then we had pleasant conversations later and I just never thought to ask for an unban until after he got so rich and famous that I couldn’t speak to him anymore.”

Is already wordy and weird

Is this a set up for a Draggin’ deez nuts joke?

This is kinda what I was leaning towards tbh, but I guess part of me just took the ban too seriously and worried that it was a measurement of my characters as a human?

What’s his email address and is this really a good idea? To be honest I was skeptical of emailing Scott about the issue to begin with… I guess part of me is worried I’d get something worse than a forum ban for speaking up.

Is this a serious answer?
